Chit- j ral. which left Ix>ndon on July 3 oi. her I maiden voyage to Australia, the P. and O. ; Comnany has restored its, fleet to pre-war I strength, and placed its mail service on the 1 same footing as in 1914. Few’ shipping com- , 1 panles in the world were more seriously af- ; fected bv war losses than the P. and O. Com- [ panv. From a fleet of 96 vessels, aggregating I 554.855 tons gross register in 1914. the comi pany's tonnage had shrunk in 1919, through I war losses, to 44 ships, totalling 344,563 i xons. Before the war the P. and O. fleet enI gaged in the Australian service included the i following “M" steamers viz.., Medina. Maloja, , Macedonia, Mamora. Malwa. Mar.fua, Morea, ! Moldavia. Mongolia, and Mooltan, represent- ! i ir.g a total of 107.088 tons gross register, but j i of these onlv four remained afloat at the I I war. The Maloja was mired and sunk in February. 1916. and the Mongolia met with ■ a -dniilar fate in June. 1917. Th® Marmora. I i Mold;” ia and Mooltan were torpedoed in 1917 1 [ and 191 R. To replace some of the foregoing I : new and larger vessels, bearing the same i ‘ name, have since been constructed, and the | : older “M" steamers have been transferred to] i the company's Far Eastern service. As a reI suit of the war losses the former fortnightly ! service to Australia had to be abandoned, hut ; this has now been restoreci. To make this 1 possible the company was obliged to build, at ! Anormous expense, an entirely new fleet for ‘ thA Australian trade. This fleet comprises ; the Mooltan and Maloja of each 24,000 tons, i the Moldavia and Mongolia of 16.500 tnns, I and three 15.000-ton liners, the Cathav. Cor- ! morin and Chitral. In order to secure the ; required strength of nine steamers the Naldera and Narkunda. which have been tem- ! porarily employed in Eastern waters, will be i transferred back to the Australian line. As . a result of the very active building policy I which has been pursued .the P. and O. fleet j now comprises 65 vessels, completed or about ! to be launched, aggregating 638.919 tons regis- | ter. MTDDLEHAM CASTLE. i Messrs Smith Beauchamp and Coy. advise j that the Middleham Castle, under charter to 1 the C. and D. Line, is due at Wanganui in j ten days’ time from New York.
